Completed The Spiv, 1/10th bust from YbrossculptS

[stoffy01]

Hello Pfer's,
Back onto the brushes with another sculpting commission, this time it's of The Spiv. So far the figure has had the tonal undercoating and a couple of layer's of the Jo Sonja's olive green and Vallejo Mahogany Brown. With the face it's the base of Vallejo Beige Red and then some shading of Mahogany brown, and German Black Brown and of course some Jo Sonja's white for highlights.
When doing the hair line I like to try and mix the flesh base of beige red with the predominant hair base colour to 'blur' and transition those colours for a natural hair line. I've found in the past that it tends to be a to distinct line and harsh contrast which almost resembles a wig, an unnatural look.
Still more to do on the face with further blend etc
Thanks for looking
Chris.

Face looks good so far, I have seen your approach to the hairline used by others, it does make for a more natural look.

Cheers Simon

These bust's of Dad's Army are bang on and so is the painting, following as usual.

Sorry for the very very late reply, and thank you so much for all your lovely comments. It's been a very busy year, especially the second half with so many things on the go and just never got around to getting back to this post. I had three Spivs on the go, and many others on the go to. So here's the finished piece, and will post it up more picture's on the completed forum.
Cheers
Chris.
